near to Ferniegair, South Lanarkshire, Great Britain

This is the base on the southern side. The three sides each bear the text "what time is now – time", but it is represented in Braille and in sign-language on the other two sides. Above the text on each side is a ring of twelve figures (on this side, these are mostly the old planetary symbols), with constellations depicted in the space within. The text at the bottom of the sculpture, on this side, reads (between the names of the sculptors):

55°47´N 4°25´W CAELUM NOCTIS S I.I.MM 00.01G.M.T.

Apart from the latitude and longitude, this line, presumably referring to the star chart within the ring, is to be interpreted as "the night sky, [when looking] south, on January 1st, 2000, at 00:01 GMT". The S (south) is replaced by WNW and ENE on the other two sides; as well as applying to the star charts, it indicates the direction faced by each side of the sculpture.
